What Is the Greatest Nu-Metal Song? | Rockers React
Музыка
Ah, nu-metal. The genre, scene, era and fashion-conscious style of heavy music that every metalhead either loves, hates, lives or actively wants to strike from the historical record. We gathered up a group of bigwig metal and rock musicians - including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, Halestorm and Bring Me the Horizon - with varying opinions on nu-metal and asked them to pick the single best song in the genre's history. Even the haters had something interesting to say. Watch their picks above and let us know your favorite nu-metal song in the comments below!

@OSEK ROTTENSEED No I didn’t mean nu metal was considered “feminine” I was just saying both genres were hated when they came out. Limp Bizkit was definitely a hated band and then Fall Out Boy became a very hated band. My Chemical Romance was hated as well. I’m just saying society trashes a lot of culturally significant things at first but in hindsight, it makes sense why nu metal and pop punk/emo got so popular. Nu Metal was angry but wanted to have fun (Gen X in a nutshell) and pop punk / emo didn’t like that over-characterization of “macho” so they went another route which makes sense if you’re an old millennial now.
I'd have to say By Myself - Linkin Park. Its just such an underrated deep cut from hybrid theory and those high screams Chester does are to die for.

For the most part tho I think people are just like "I hate nu-metal but like Korn so they arent nu-metal" however if you ask these people if they like linkin park, slipknot, mudvayne, SOAD, etc they probably do an at that point do you ACTUALLY dislike it or are you just following a fad?

Linkin Park is a bit of an obvious choice, but a respectable one. Personally, I think most of Linkin Park's early discography is amazing. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are certified classics. It's hard to pick because they were all so influential at the time for the genre and the bands involved. Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot. All of those bands plus the ones I don't listen to all had a major impact so it's hard to pick a song that is the greatest. I think it's up to personal preference. I'm a Slipknot fanboy, so anything off of Self-Titled, Vol. 3 or hell even Iowa even though Iowa is a bit too hardcore for me.

For me personally- Korn - Got the life Limp Bizkit - Counterfeit Linkin park - Faint Deftones - 7 words Slipknot - Surfacing System of a down - Prison song

RATM are not a nu-metal band.
This is so wholesome and great. Awesome to see a new generation of rockers express unabashed appreciation for a genre that has been maligned and misunderstood for so long. Nu-metal? I dunno man. It's just metal to me. Let the horns fly. \m/ \m/
Break Stuff is a solid choice. I think Spit It Out got overlooked, but it wasn’t a massive hit either. KoRn are kind of the progenitor band of the genre, so a few of their songs fit well. Since that era was late middle and early high school for me (well, Meteora was my Jr or Sr year), it’s hard not to get lost in nostalgia. I guess that’s the point though.
I have to say I’m HUGELY and happily surprised at the love of Korn and even a mention of Papa Roach. HELL yes.
I would lean into Korn or Limp Bizket for my top song but i have to give a special shout out to Orgy - Stiches. Not many people would probably even know the song by name but i loved it, also their version of Blue Monday was frickin AWESOME!

Nookie by Limp Bizkit is the track that got me right into Nu Metal, but Rollin' is my all time fav.
breakstuff makes me wanna break stuff back in the day and listening to it now still makes me wanna break stuff. great song
Falling Away From Me by KORN was the first Nu-Metal track I heard in the South Park Halloween episode "Season 3, Episode 10 - Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" also Linkin Park-"Faint"/ SOAD-"Chop Suey"
My Own Summer, 7 Words, Break Stuff, Freak On A Leash, One Step Closer
A few of my favorites - A Welcome Burden - Disturbed, Justin - Korn, Cold - Static X, Rammestein - Rammestein
I’m glad someone mentioned Blind. Gotta be without a doubt the greatest Nu Metal song ever.. and really the first Nu Metal song ever that took the world by storm.. since they created the genre and all. A close second for me is With You by LP.
I like Korn's metalic sound. The bass and drums have deep metalic sounds to them in a lot of songs.
The seminal Nu-Metal song is "Freak On a Leash" by Korn. That song defines the era.
I can't believe among the LP songs they mentioned what with one step closer, faint and even in the end they didn't mention papercut. That song is the first song and single from their debut and legendary album Hybrid theory. It's also one of my fave LP songs.
Not saying these are the greatest but few of my favorites in no order Static-X Permanence Black and white (The whole Machine album really) Stem I'm With Stupid (Some say Static-X is only industrial but they have nu metal elements throughout their albums) Linkin park's first 2 albums literally every song. No skips, both 10/10, enough said. Korn Falling Away From Me Make Me Bad Here To Stay Bottled Up Inside Hating (The whole Untouchables album really) SOAD Prison Song Sugar Limp Bizkit My Way Show Me What You Got Dont Go Off Wandering
Seeing Jordan from BMTH in all these different clips of this interview, he manages to bring up Linkin Park just about every time. I swear we could’ve got a Linkin Park/BMTH tour had things turned out differently
Awesome. My pick is Bodies by Drowning Pool. Let the bodies hit the floor.
Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park were my introduction to rock/metal back in 01 specifically My Way and Papercut made me buy both albums.
Some lesser known but personal faves: Sugar Ray - Streaker (yes, that Sugar Ray, their 1st album Lemonade and Brownies is surprisingly heavy), Incubus - A Certain Shade of Green (again their 1st EP and album are pretty heavy), Korn - My Gift to You, Static X - Wisconsin Death trip, Deftones - Passenger, Slipknot - Sic, Mudvayne - Nothing to Gein, System of a Down - Suite Pee, Godsmack - Time Bomb, Disturbed - Droppin Plates, RATM - Freedom, Snot - Snot.

Dead Bodies Everywhere is one that springs to mind
For me, i’d say "Bodies" from Drowning Pool and "I’m With Stupid" from Static-X
Honestly Korn is nu metal but they had that crazy groove in all of their early stuff at that time. It made sense after that interview Jonathan did where he mentioned he always thought they were funky. Made so much sense after hearing that.
Damn!! So many people in this video mentioned Limp Bizkit; Korn, Linkin Park, Static-X. System of a Down and Rage Against the Machine were also mentioned. A little bummed nobody mentioned Sevendust. They’re generally hard rock, groove metal now..but in the day of their first two releases: their self-titled debut and second album Home were both categorized as Nu-metal. I loved (and still love) majority of the bands mentioned here, especially Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Static-X, Deftones (not mentioned, but one I like) and also Coal Chamber! Why the hell was Coal Chamber not mentioned?! And they still rock today!! The band just reunited late 2022!!

The guy from Suicide Silence (2:10) represented my opinion. Got the Life is the song that made like not only Nu Metal but metal in general. I listen to Black Sabbath and many bands that came after because of Got the Life. But my favorite Nu Metal song is Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park. I know they are the pop Nu Metal band. But this song is amazing in my opinion.
Hate people just rag on nu metal. Yes, good chunk of it didn't age well, but you can find plenty of gems in the genre, and it was important to the development of rock and metal as a gateway for many to the genre

There were lots of original and good bands, that were not as huge as SOAD, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Deftones or Slipknot. I was really surprised that Sevendust was mentioned by that dude from Halestorm. Sevendust is a good example of a band that aged really good and had a very unique way of nu metal. Lajon Witherspoon should be given way more credit, that dude is a brilliant singer.

There is also the politics behind it... Journalists bitching that it is mysognistic among other things...
I definitely agree with Diamond's apprehension as a diehard fan to go with a hit as opposed to a deepcut, because in my experience, the bands that I'm a diehard it's much more often that prefer everything else they did over their hits/singles, but that may be an effort on my part to show that I actually listen to them because I found meaning/connection in the stuff that wasn't shoveled out on tv/radio for promotion. Also, the "greatest" often aren't anywhere close to a band's best work imo, but "greatest" doesn't mean best in these conversations, instead it's typically an indicator or measure of their reach and impact.
Mine was : Spit It Out - SlipKnot One Step Closer - Linkin Park Sugar - SoAD Take a Look Around & Nookie - Limp Bizkit Between Angels & Insects - Papa Roach
I love that Nu Metal is slowly making a comeback and being more of a popular topic now then when Nu Metal was actually popular in the late 90s. Also my favourite Nu Metal song is Kid Rocks Bawitdaba hands down

I was obviously there. I was born in 93 then Korns debut came out the year after. Nu Metal was huge in the late 90s-early 2000s. Every movie soundtrack had at least if not one then a bunch of Nu metal on it (Queen of the damned, Scorpion king, Scream, etc). Video games, even celebrities were in Nu metal bands (Vanilla Ice, Jada Pickett Smith). I didn’t have MTV growing up where I only had MuchMusic and it was getting the same rotation on there. I’m stating it got a lot of flack back then but now those that flacked it are slowly coming around and begrudging that. While those that didn’t flack it like myself who’s a die hard Nu Metal fan I’m happy it’s getting recognition again as it rightfully deserves. It’s a huge gateway for most metal/metalcore bands today

Greatest rapper???? Have you listened to hip hop? Jay z? Nas? Biggie? Don’t be afraid dive into genres you don’t listen to, it can be amazing. Even mike shinoda, linkin park’s rapper, has a solo hip hop project called fort minor. Or the song “it’s going down” he did with the x-ecutioners. I’m only bringing that up cause it might be more your style, but you can find very high level rapping elsewhere compared to limp bizkit
Nu metal hit right at my late high school years. The genre is so vast, so many different styles mashed into one. I’m a huge Rage Against the Machine and I’ve heard them lumped into Nu Metal. Same with Cypress Hill.
Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Mudvayne, and Slipknot were the bands that started my journey into metal. For that, Nu Metal will always hold a special place in my heart 🤘🤘
Jordan got it spot on! First one would come to my mind would be In The End by LP, even though they never considered themselves as a nu metal band.
1.) Headup 2.) Purity 3.) Got The Life
6:11 I cracked up laughing at the end of this part from hearing that the guy was so convinced that limpbizkuit was the one and the best of nu-metal, after he goes on talking about and giving his perspective, then the cool big guy with the mask and the painted face in the middle, simply just says blind from Korn and everybody's like, Oh, okay. Yeah, forgot about that one. Totally understandable.
I remember being 13 years old walking through junior high and these Korn shirts started to flood the hallways and I wasn't even a metal fan yet. I was a curious cat, checked them out. Within a year my entire music taste changed. To me they really defined that era. Throwing a vote in for Korn - Got the Life.

I have a hard time with the Nu Metal genre. To me there were three distinct genres that emerged in that time period. You have more heady rock bands with some metal influences but with punchy timing and elements of progressive metal like Godsmack, System of a Down, Static X, Disturbed and slower stuff like the Deftones. Then you had the rap -rock hybrid Linkin Park, POD, Korn and Limp Bizkit then you had the actual metal bands with rap/hip hop influence like Slipknot (really just the first album and a few songs after that) and even I would put bands like Powerman 5000 and Rob Zombie in that genre because while they werent rapping in their music at all they were taking other parts of hip hop and using samples and dance beats etc in their music. Then there was this other genre that I am not sure if you can really call them Nu Metal - like Mudvanye, Puddle of Mud, etc. I cringe a little when everyone lumps just any new band from that era as Nu Metal, its just too much of a variety of bands to really classify it as a single type.
I am surprised nobody said Spit it Out. It's the best one in my opinion, goes super hard and yet it's still groovy.

Voices by disturbed is something I still bump today..deftones - my own summer should be on this topic and limp bizkit - take a look around

I've seen so many of these late 90s, early 2000s tours it's crazy: Hed(pe), Endo, Deftones, Presence, Snot, Taproot, Drowning Pool, Nonpoint, Coal Chamber, POD, Sevendust, Flaw, Soil, Mudvayne, Finger 11, Element Eighty, Saliva, Powerman 5000, Stereomud, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Primus, Slipknot, Incubus, Static-X, Tool, Kid Rock, Disturbed, SOAD, etc. What A Time To Be Young And Going To Shows!
For me the perfect nu metal songs are Faint, Figure 0.9 and Break stuff, all his sounds represent the fusion between rap metal with a little electro that characterizes nu metal, they're not my favorite but i think they best represent of nu metal
